Stephen, I have not been able to duplicate this problem here under Fedora 3 32 bit or Fedora 4 64 bit. The 2.4 kernel is much older than I have here, and the gcc environment you have also has an older glibc than I have. I might suggest using the "-g" flag in $CONFIGDIR/Makeinc.linux FOPT and COPT when building to see what routine the segmentation fault is occuring in if you run under gdb. I can post a 5.9.2 in progress distribution if you want to test that.
